Very cool. In case this helps, think of the slide thing like measuring cups, you set the tempo by “reading” the flat top of the metronome. So by matching the sliding thing to where the top matches the 90 line, means you are matching the tempo of the piece (say a half note = 90). Anyone who uses a decimal place (I.e. a quarter note = 90.8 beats) goes straight to the ninth level of hell.

Cool. At the risk of being unduly obvious, I reckon you should call him Klaus Zwischenticher.

Since you are a hat collector, I hope you keep his old hat. You could use it some time!😊

Hi Phoebe, the best tool to cut or carve foam with are hot foam knives. I see Cosplayers making armor out of high end crafting foam and they all use heated foam carving knives.

"There's a lot of beans down there." I'm thinking t shirts and merchandising opportunities. Thanks Phoebe!

Es genial, gran proyecto es creativo

Such a cool project! Fractured Fairy Tales often has a furry gnome with a big hat carrying the sign at the end of the story. Not sure how to post a picture here, so good luck!

You are remarkably pretty, having so much to tell. I could listen to your stories the whole day everyday.

The Bible says we are made in His image and likeness, He being the Creator...creativity is one of the attributes we inherited. Blessings and Shalom in Him

Not only a really good Banjo player. But also cleaver at Making * Things* Well Done

I love your playing. I love your look and style. Girl, you got it going on! I could sit and listen to you play all day.

I HAVE ONE OF THESE ALREADY!! My sister made it for me, and now I bring it to my piano lessons I teach, and the kids love it so much.

There must be someone near you with a good soldering iron a 3D printer and a need for ideas

You're a treat!

"MG" for a nickname?

Phoebe! You are so cool. I love your music, but this video was a kick in its own right. Thank you for your youthful exuberance. Go Phoebe.

So fun!! Thanks for the peak into your creativity and innovation...and great music.

I used an electric knife when I made cushions for the camper! Might work for stiff foam also. Love the gnome!

Awesome as always ❤

I must confess, dear Phoebe, that when I was only five years old that I did a careful sewing operation on a stuffed (not real) Easter bunny, to remove and play the music box that played Brahms Lullaby. I then immediately sewed the stuffed bunny back up, but I've still always felt a little bit guilty about it. That was a half of a century ago. There is no such of a thing as "emotional closure". kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHmshIyfe8qkocU

Dear Phoebe and your Fabulous Friends! You are definitely a Breath of Fresh Air to Us in your musical Family! I have Subscribed and Liked Your YT channel and so enjoy all you add to Our Global Musical Community! All my Best, Neal, Boston, Ma. :)) 🎤🎶🪕📖🎹🎄👍🌈☮️

Very funny and creative. You are very punny!

Heat a butter knife with a torch and will melt the foam away.

Thanks fer the advice...😢..breaks me heart.

I would make him a backpack with the metronome in it with switches accessible.

True that using the metronome is not fun, but watching and listening to you create maestro metrognome was very fun . I like the way your mind works

Loved this. Great to see it from idea to execution, and he turned out great! Hard to top just naming him "metrognome."

Funny. Very long ago, in a place far, far away, I used the identical metronome. Lol

That was a fun project to watch and the results is a very good looking and useful metro gnome

Great wild imagination!

In the hat

You could also use the metro"gnome" in the garden to help you plant seeds in perfect time. 😄 You could probably make a few dollars by making and selling those.

I like your gnome _and_ I second the motion to have more making-stuff videos!

What a fun project, most enjoyable, thank you!!!

I love your Metrognome! So clever and fun to watch his metamorphosis. I am drawing a blank about a name! Maybe Gnomeo like in the cute Gnome movie? His heart beats for Juliet, lol! 💜

Trony is also a metrognome by being from metropolitan L.A.

I love your metrognome! You are quite the crafts-woman in addition to your extraordinary skills as a banjo player. As far as a name for your creation, may I suggest Marvin? It just seems to fit somehow.

I like to tap my foot when I need timing while playing my banjo, its very natural and you learn to play to natural rhythms.

I have always been partial to naming a Gnome Chompski.

He's a super gnome! Perfect.

A finely serrated knife could be used to split your cone from top to bottom, and then you could use the same knife to cut half the hole out of each side. One cut to split the cone, and then four cuts in each half of the cone. Then tape or glue the halves back together.

How fun, Phoebe!

You asked about how to dig in to that kind of foam more easily. Model-cement and certain superglues dissolve polystyrene fast.

What a cool video. You are a well spoke young lady.

You have the gift of problem solving and creativity. I played my drums along with you playing and I am confident that I could accompany you with my washboard. So when you become famous and travel to Australia if you need a washboard player I will be available. :)

I'm 81 seconds in and amazed by what you're saying. For a couple months now, I've been wanting to compliment you on the clockwork consistency of your timing. Comparison: The Beatles are my favorite band, and their tempo varies much more than yours.

Clyde

Hmm, it's silly but somehow I get a better feeling about using a metro gnome than any other also that type he uses is nicer to me as well... strange ...you could make money with these! I would call him Neil Young cause his hand is like a metronome

Looks like a hit! How many can you make before Christmas? 😉

Nice ❤
